Cost of living help in addition to well-signposted tax relief remains on the cards if the federal government can find room for it in the upcoming budget.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the tax relief, due to kick in midway through this year, will be the centrepiece of his government's financial support plan.
"And if we can afford to do a little more than that, then those decisions will be taken in the next week or two," Dr Chalmers told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
